When someone makes you look forward to Mondays, you know they're the one.

Tessa Raye, my gorgeous, curvy, coffee-loving office neighbor, was the reason I looked forward to Monday mornings. The few minutes I got to spend with her when I delivered her Monday morning mystery coffee were the highlight of my week. Not that it would lead anywhere. As paralegal for my divorce attorney, Tessa had a front row seat to every sordid detail of the dumpster fire my life became for a time. No smart woman would agree to take me on after that, and Tessa was smarter than most.

When a favor for a friend set the stage for a confrontation with my ex, Tessa offered her help again, this time as my fake girlfriend. I knew I should turn her down. I already wanted her too much.

But I didn't say no. I said yes. Now all I had to do was convince her to turn make-believe into reality.

Mondays, Mochas & Make-Believe is book 1 in the Love When You Least Expect It steamy contemporary romance novella series about three brothers, each finding love in his own unique way. Each story is a stand-alone 90-minute short romance read with a guaranteed HEA.
